Tagged: SpainPosted on: November 26th, 2007
British Airways Plc, Europe’s third- largest airline, dropped plans to bid for Spanish carrier Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana SA.
The London-based company, which owns 10 percent of Iberia, won’t exercise preemption rights to acquire shares being sold by local investors to Caja Madrid, it said in a statement today. That will allow the Spanish bank to build a 24 percent stake.”*
